Diagram Implementation C#

[sunny542]

Hello dear C# programmers,

I have to create a school project.
The project will be written in C#. I need to read a text file that contains
code in 'C language', and create a Diagram based on the code from the text file.
Basically it should create some sort of tree of 'C commands', so than, I will be able to draw a flow diagram based on that tree using .Net GDI.

I really need some help on how to implement this,
or if anyone have any ideas for this "insane" project, please I really need
your help.

Sincerely,

sunny542

Hi sunny !

Doesn't look as an insane project looks like a high school project. So better do some basic studies in C# and about OOP and Interfaces.

The only 'strange' thing on this is the 'tree' of C commands But I think this is maybe depending on what is meant with a 'tree' Maybe its more something like a syntax -semantic analyser.
to separate syntax tokens from other code.

So first you need to separate things into different logical parts of your testcode. and find out which elements creates a node.

E.g. you have to find out words and groups like if (....) {}
of for(;{} statements and then evaluating them by their significance.

So when you analyse your code your 'tree' maybee would look like

if (expression )
|		 |
yes		 no
|		 | 
do A		 do b
|		 |
	 |
	 do anything

Ant this then can be dawn as a graphic like a flow chart.

I would suggest you to read MS Visual C# 2005 step by step. There is one example which shows a small part of a Token analyzer as an example for the usage of Interfaces. Studying this could maybe give you some basic ideas how to go into that.
